Osseous Surgery without the Worry

Avoiding a necessary gum surgery can be detrimental to your overall health and even cost you your teeth, since gum disease breaks down the connection between the teeth and the gums and jawbone. Laser gum surgery is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to traditional osseous surgery. With laser treatment, there is no longer any reason to leave your gum disease untreated.

Gentle, Effective Procedure with a Speedy Recovery Time

Laser gum surgery does not involve any cutting or sutures, typical of osseous surgery. Because of this, most of our patients are able to eat painlessly within a few days rather than the traditional 2-3 weeks. The procedure itself is quick and causes very little bleeding or discomfort. Little to no bleeding means a much lower risk for complications or infection.
